RE: The Playoff Poll just confirms that a G5 team will never make the playoff.
I swear the chairman of the CFP is pure evil and possessed by the P5.

Quote:At the halfway point of the 2018 college season, fans, teams, coaches, players and media all wonder the same thing: will my team be good enough to reach the College Football Playoff championship round. Four teams will vie for the game's biggest prize: the CFP National Championship. Bill Hancock, the first and only CFP leader, recently spoke with FBA Communications about his current job, places he's been before, and what he likes to do in his limited 'spare time'.

What are you most proud of about the CFP?

"I'm happy that the CFP is already so popular, after only four years. The CFP works, and is great for college football. Of course we are riding the coattails of fans' passion for this great game. I'm proud of our staff; they're awesome human beings who have made the CFP an iconic, respected event basically overnight. The CFP is creating great memories for athletes and other students, and fans, too, of course. And I am delighted with the CFP Foundation that has done so much for K-thorugh-12 teachers. Look for it to prosper and continue doing so much for education in America."

What makes this engine go?

"Well, CFP is governed by university presidents, conference commissioners and athletics directors who are devoted to ensuring its success. But the heartbeat of the CFP is the selection committee. The best thing the commissioners did when they set up the playoff was to create the committee to choose the teams. Our group of football experts is what makes the CFP purr. No group like this had ever been assembled in college football before, of course. The key is that these are high integrity people who know and love the game. And the diversity of background and thought contributes greatly to the committee's success. It has been rewarding to observe the diligence of the committee for these four years. They're dedicated. They're earnest. They are aware how important the event is, and they treat their job very seriously."

UCF last year isn't strictly relevant.

A G5 team can make. UCF just isn't as compelling as many would like to make them out to be.

RE: The Playoff Poll just confirms that a G5 team will never make the playoff.
The non-power argument is, essentially, you can’t pick your conference or schedule. Central Florida can’t up and join the ACC or SEC so they’re are limited there. They also likely won’t get a good non-conference game unless they luck out and someone they scheduled happens to have an unexpected terrific season - like Kentucky this year. That’s been my argument with Boise St. We can’t just join the PAC and instantly increase our schedule strength. That being said, power schools do get penalized as well - see Ohio St last season. I don’t think a non-power school should get added points for that imbalance in a four-school playoff. I would, however, be for it in an eight-school playoff with the top non-power school getting a bid. That would likely necessitate autobids for power conferences.

I do believe Central Florida has a semi-good argument this season. Boise St benefitted from consistent success, reaching #2 one season, and that is where I don’t discount the argument about being undefeated last season. Past success matters. It’s how Alabama gets their credibility, along with other traditional powers. On the other hand, where Boise St in the 2000s and early 2010s were beating the doors off every opponent, Central Florida has had a lot of close games. If they remain undefeated and there are no more than two power schools with less than two losses, then Central Florida should be in without hesitation.

Like Ive said before--every P5 plays 8 or more P5 schools and every G5 is stuck playing at least 8 G5 schools. Thus, no G5 will ever get much past #66 in SOS. UCF was #72 last year---so, a G5 isnt ever going to do significantly better with respect to SOS. Finishing undefeated against the #72 schedule didnt even get them into the top 10.

Basically, if your going to eliminate schools based strictly on schedule, the G5 is toast. No chance. Its a flawed methodology--but the G5 has zero power to change it. It is what it is. I'll admit--it was always going to be extremely difficult to judge between the top of the G5 and the top of the P5. They play few crossover games and have vastly different schedules. That said, the Committee basically doesnt even try. They have chosen to simply dismiss the G5 as across the board "unworthy" and used SOS as the standard excuse. They throw in a couple of token G5 picks---always well out of the playoff picture striking range---and call it a day. Its either lazy--or flat out dishomest---either way---its a flawed methodology....and people are starting to notice.

Well, all of you claiming the AAC is a P6 should now see you are not any better than the rest, you are not getting into the playoffs and have to battle like the rest for the Access Bowl

UCF goes undefeated 2 years and doesn't even get ranked in the top 10.

Why do you G5 guys keep yammering about what UCF did *last year* when this is about the playoffs *this year*?

I mean, last year, the Houston Rockets had the best record in the NBA. Right now, they are off to a 1-5 start. Should they get to count last year's W-L record to boost their place in the conference standings this year? How dumb is that?

Worst of all, you folks never mention anyone else getting to invoke last year. If UCF gets to count last year's achievements towards this year's playoffs, then surely Georgia should get to count last year's SEC title and Rose Bowl win this year, and Ohio State should get to count last year's B1G title and Cotton Bowl win too right?

No, only UCF does. 03-lmfao

Agreed on Georgia, especially since I am a Dawg fan. Also, I can see Nick Saban wanting to count last years national title towards Bama’s standings this year.

Still, Hilltop75 does have some valid points.

The Committe has a 4-3 team in the top 25. I mean---how does that even happen? lol....With only 4 wins they may not even make a bowl (well, they probably will with Kansas and an FCS still on the schedule). Yet---the Committee has multiple 7 and 8 win one-loss teams unranked. I mean----C'mon---a little common sense please. That team is not a viable top 25 team and wont be there at seasons end. Its just dumb to have them there.

If Iowa St wins the rest of their conference games, they play in a P5 conference championship game. The FCS game is scheduled the same day as the Big 12 Championship game. It isn't stupid if you look at their HC and true freshman QB who is legit.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see jayhawk, rape U, tcu, k-state and Iowa St moved to the MWC or AAC but that isn't happening anytime soon.

Don't worry, UH has Tilman Fertitta, Dr Khator and a city that loves UH. I fully expect a 20k seat expansion with their leadership and the support from the people of Houston.

With all the P6 talk and them being left out thus far, I wonder how this impacts TV $$$'s going forward? The P5 is powerful and don't like newcomers claiming a championship they didn't earn.

RE: The Playoff Poll just confirms that a G5 team will never make the playoff.
Part of the problem for the AAC and the G5 is that no matter how good of a coach they can put into place and no matter how much money they can offer they are all about guaranteed to leave for a mid to upper tier P5 job.

When the MWC had BYU, TCU and Utah it had a unique situation. BYU of course is the marquee Mormon job so will hang onto its coaches longer term and they were consistently in the Top 20. Patterson was a blue collar coach that didn't appeal to the P5 jobs. Utah was paying just enough to keep their top man.

UCF, Houston, Memphis have not been able to retain their top guys regardless of what money they offer. Instead the jobs have been direct springboards to upper tier P5 jobs.

In the MAC whichever coach wins the MACC is picked up normally by a lower tier P5 almost by default. Ohio and NIU have held their coaches for a while since they haven't delivered conference titles. Toledo kept its coach because he is really young.

MWC, CUSA, SBC all were watered down so much by realignment at this point that what depth they had is gone. I thought by now you would have seen more from these three, maybe this year the MWC with Fresno and Utah St.

It may seem harsh but it is less about a flawed system and more of a reflection of a very real difference.

There’s a very real difference between the competitiveness of the average P5 team and the competitiveness of the average G5 team. That’s indisputable.

But it’s also irrelevant. The rightful purpose of an FBS-level playoff is not to crown the best team from the stronger FBS conferences as national champion. Its purpose is to crown the best team from all of the FBS conferences as national champion.

To fulfill that purpose, in years when the G5 is able to field a team that can compete head-to-head with the P5 elite — as it has in the past with TCU and Utah, and last year with UCF — there has to be a realistic opportunity for that team to qualify for the playoff. A system that consistently excludes such a team from playoff participation based on the strength of its opponents without regard to its own strength is fundamentally flawed IMHO.

I agree. There was actually more excitement in the BCS era when you had bracket busters like Utah, TCU, and Boise making legitimate noise

Really dumb article. He says that Auburn going unbeaten in 2004 led to the creation of the CFP in 2013? That's crazy.

And he says the "one thing" he doesn't like about college football is that you can go unbeaten and not play for the championship? All that means is that Feinstein doesn't like college football, because it's ALWAYS been that way. There's nothing new about that with regards to the CFP.

The one thing he says that makes sense? That the G5 team often wins the NY6 bowl because they are usually pitted against a relatively weak P5 team with zero motivation. That's true.

They ranked that 4-3 team so that they could justify Bama record. They would be the only ranked win that they have so far this season. 07-coffee3

That might make sense, except that Iowa State isn't on Alabama's schedule. Good Grief. 07-coffee3

As for Iowa State being ranked #24, they deserve to be. They have already played three ranked teams and beat WVU. No AAC team has a win as good.

And remember, since AAC fans like "last year" so much, a pitiful 7-5 Iowa State team that finished 7th in the Big 12 went to Memphis and beat a Memphis team in the Liberty Bowl that shouldn't have been ranked but was, because the committee was dumb enough to give them credit for going 10-2 against a patsy AAC schedule. 03-lmfao

UCF goes undefeated 2 years and doesn't even get ranked in the top 10.

Why do you G5 guys keep yammering about what UCF did *last year* when this is about the playoffs *this year*?

I mean, last year, the Houston Rockets had the best record in the NBA. Right now, they are off to a 1-5 start. Should they get to count last year's W-L record to boost their place in the conference standings this year? How dumb is that?

Worst of all, you folks never mention anyone else getting to invoke last year. If UCF gets to count last year's achievements towards this year's playoffs, then surely Georgia should get to count last year's SEC title and Rose Bowl win this year, and Ohio State should get to count last year's B1G title and Cotton Bowl win too right?

No, only UCF does. 03-lmfao

The Committe has a 4-3 team in the top 25. I mean---how does that even happen? lol....With only 4 wins they may not even make a bowl (well, they probably will with Kansas and an FCS still on the schedule).

Memphis was also without their starting RB in that game who just so happens to be the best RB in the nation this year. Not difficult to see how that would have changed the game. It isn't difficult to stop a one dimensional offense.
